It’s a game of significant importance for us fantasy managers where, if our Captain’s Poll is to be believed, 68% have their armband on the seemingly free-scoring Robin van Persie. The good news [...]

    Wednesday Dugout Discussion

    Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: Akers

    After a frenetic Deadline Day Tuesday that saw an abundance of big-name moves, such as Nikica Jelavic to Everton (massive), the Dugout Discussion returns to complete Gameweek 23.
